Chapter 149 Your heart has already told you the answer
The training class has self-study classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. So Li Wenxi's study tasks suddenly increased, but she didn't feel strenuous, after all, she spent most of her summer vacation on math competition questions.
Time slipped away in the test papers, and Li Wenxi won the first prize in the provincial math competition in April of the following year without any surprise, and will represent the province in the national math competition league in November.
The teacher in charge of the team in the province told her a piece of news that the top 60 students in the National Mathematics Competition League will be admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Peking University and National Tsing Hua University, and the top 60 will enter the national training team. Those who are selected will represent the country to participate in international mathematics competitions abroad.
After knowing this information, Li Wenxi thought about it and re-planned her study plan. She basically invested all her time in mathematics competition training, which also caused her grades in the final exam to drop significantly, directly from the first place in the science grade to the 30th place in the science grade.
Everyone was shocked.
The teachers knew that Li Wenxi had been preparing for the mathematics competition some time ago, but they didn't say anything.
The students in the experimental class looked at her with pity.
Qian Hong and Wang Mei from the arts class saw the red list of grades posted on the bulletin board, ran to the dormitory and asked loudly: "Li Wenxi, how come you only ranked 30th in science? You really missed the big picture. You lowered your grades for the math competition. You will be in the third year of high school in the second half of the year, and it will be difficult for you to raise your grades." There was a smile in their tone.
"You only ranked 28th in arts." Hao Sanmei said, "The number of people in their science department is two or three times that of ours. The 30th in science is better than the 28th in arts."
Qian Hong was speechless.
After Qian Hong left, Gao Hui, Hao Sanmei and Zhang Shulan all comforted Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi actually had some doubts about her decision adjustment. She didn't know if it was right to put all her cards on the math competition. If she didn't rank in the top 60 in the country and couldn't get a recommendation for Tsinghua University, she would have to go back to sprint for the college entrance examination. Wouldn't it be too late by then?
Although Li Wenxi had been mentally prepared, she was still very depressed when she saw that she only ranked 30th in the final exam. She was lingering in doubt and hesitation, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined in her mind.
On the boat back to Lingdao during the holiday, Li Wenxi told Zhang Shulan about her concerns and asked what she would choose if it were her.
Zhang Shulan actually knew that doing well in the math competition might be good for the college entrance examination, but she didn't know that the top 60 in the country could be directly recommended for Tsinghua University and Peking University. When she heard Li Wenxi say this, her mouth opened wide.
Li Wenxi continued, "Because I am not sure if I can get into the top 60, I didn't tell anyone else about this. After all, I am still a long way from being admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University."
Zhang Shulan nodded, "If it were me, I wouldn't tell anyone either." Thinking of the question Li Wenxi had just asked her, she added, "If you were allowed to choose again, would you still choose to focus all your time and energy on the math competition?"
Li Wenxi looked at the vast ocean in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "I think I would still make this choice. I like math. I feel very happy when I do these questions. I feel that I have grown a lot in this competition. I want to be in the top 60 not only to get a recommendation, but more importantly, I want to enter the national training team, where I should be able to learn more knowledge. I think this is a very precious opportunity. If I don’t try my best this time, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life. "
Zhang Shulan smiled and said, "Your heart has already told you the answer."
